Definitions

  • the present invention relates to containers used for freight transportation, truck boxes, railway freight cars, container houses, etc.
  • Containers occupy the same volume regardless of whether they are loaded with cargo or not, so a large number of empty containers are transported.
  • the applicant separated the container into an upper and a lower container, and made it possible to fold the supports provided at the four corners of the container inward using the upper container or the lower container as a fulcrum. has proposed a container that can reduce the container volume by half or less (Patent Document 1).
  • Patent Document 1 On the other hand, in the case of truck boxes, railway freight cars, container houses, etc., reducing the volume of containers when not in use is not usually considered.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a container whose volume when empty is further reduced and transportation efficiency when empty is increased.
  • the container of the present invention is a container comprising a pair of end faces, a pair of side faces, a top structure and a floor structure, the sides being placed below the top structure or on top of the floor structure.
  • a side tipping means for folding, a gable frame configured to surround the gable on all sides, and a gable frame that stands upright on the floor structure can be lifted and folded toward the floor structure.
  • the top structure is movable up and down along the support between the upper end of the upright gable frame and the floor surface of the floor structure, and the gable tipping means is , is characterized in that it can be placed with its end face down on top of a top structure lowered to the floor.
  • a recess is provided under the gable frame that stands upright to accommodate the auxiliary support column in a fallen state, and when the auxiliary support column is set upright, the tip of the auxiliary support column will be placed above the top structure. It extends to a higher position than the gable surface on which it is placed.
  • a connecting mechanism for connecting the containers to each other is provided at the tip of the auxiliary support.
  • the gable overturning means includes, for example, a rotation shaft provided on the side of the floor structure, and an arm whose one end is pivotally supported by the rotation shaft and whose other end is fixed to the lower end of the support column. , located a predetermined distance inside along the longitudinal direction from the gable surface.
  • the gable tipping means includes, for example, a gable guide member provided on the side of the floor structure and having a guide groove extending in the vertical direction, one end of which is engaged with the guide groove, and the other end of which is engaged with the lower end of the support column. Equipped with a fixed gable rotation axis.
  • a side surface engaging portion that engages with the upper end or lower end of the side surface may be provided along the side of the top surface structure or the floor surface structure.
  • a side housing part that can accommodate the side surfaces may be provided on the lower side of the top structure. contained within the body. For example, the side surfaces are divided into an even number of upper and lower panels so that they can be folded inward, and a pair of side surfaces are folded in a state in which the left and right sides are parallel.
  • a locking mechanism may be provided on the support column to prevent the top structure from falling.

  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing how the front and rear frames (pillars) are folded together with the front and rear doors (gable side).
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing the configuration of an auxiliary support column used when stacking folded containers.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing the configuration of a container according to a second embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing a state in which folded containers are stacked. It is a typical perspective view of the container of a 4th embodiment assembled to a 1st height. It is a typical sectional view of a side engaging part. It is a typical cross-sectional view of a container of a 4th embodiment. It is a typical perspective view when folding the container of 4th Embodiment of 1st height. It is a typical perspective view of the container of a 4th embodiment folded to the 2nd height.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a rough configuration of a container according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
